The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (1992-1994)

The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles was a television adventure series that aired on ABC for 2 seasons from 1992-1993 and later as 2 hour television movies in 1994. From executive producer George Lucas, the series followed the early life of his famed archeologist Indiana Jones during the first half of the 20th century. For a major part of the series, Indiana Jones (here played by primarily by Sean Patrick Flanery) is seen fighting for the Belgian Army under an assumed name during World War I. Harrison Ford would later reprise his role as Indy in the episode "Mystery of the Blues". The series' episodes would be compiled into 2 hour movies and released on DVD in 2007 (the names of the episodes seen here reflect the names used on the released DVD's).

The following weapons were used in the series The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles:



Handguns

Colt Single Action Army

The Single Action Army revolver is used by several Mexican revolutionaries who ride with Pancho Villa in "Spring Break Adventure". Also in the episode, Lt. George S. Patton is seen carrying two SAA's in dual holsters that he pulls in a bar.

Smith & Wesson Model M1917

In "Spring Break Adventure", Det. Frank Brady (James Handy) is armed with a Smith & Wesson M1917 that he fires on Dr. Hanson. Note, that this particular episode takes place in 1916, making the use of the revolver an anachronism.

Rast-Gasser 1898

An Austrian Rast-Gasser 1898 revolver is seen in the hands of French officers. This is presumably intended to be a captured weapon - interestingly the Rast-Gasser 1898 chambered a round quite close to the French M1892 revolver and could use French ammunition.

Nagant M1878

In "Oganga, The Giver and Taker of Life", Indiana Jones (Sean Patrick Flanery) is seen carrying a Belgian army Nagant M1878 revolver as he leads troops in East Africa. The use of this revolver in a production is somewhat surprising as these weapons are extremely rare.

Rifles

Lebel 1886

When Indiana Jones fights with the Belgian army during World War I, French soldiers and Belgian troops are seen carrying Lebel 1886 rifles. The Belgian army in WW1 actually used Mauser M1889 rifles, however these are extremely rare and it is unlikely any could be obtained.

Mauser Kar 98K

The primary weapon used by the German infantrymen is the WW2-era Mauser Kar 98K, likely as sufficient WW1 Gewehr 98s could not be obtained.

Machine Guns

Schwarzlose M1907

The Austrian Schwarzlose M1907 Machine Gun is used by German forces in "Trenches of Hell". It looks more of a Czech ZB53 modded with a water jacket to imitate one as the muzzle would be slightly lower.

Lewis Gun

The Lewis Gun is seen prominently in the episode "The Phantom Train of Doom". It's mounted on an enemy biplane as well as being used by Indiana Jones from a hot air balloon. To all connoisseurs, it must be noted the the Lewis Gun was captured and used by the Germans. The pan magazine doesn't appear to be from the same gun, possibly from a DP-28 instead.
